About Big Food, Big Garden, Big Life

For more than two decades I’ve collected and cooked out of old cookbooks. Many have spiral or other types of non-glued binders indicative of local publications. Most are compilations of recipes by local cooks in southern, southwestern, and western parts of the United States of America. This is real people’s food—fresh, simply prepared, and delicious. It is the same food that Americans were eating a half-century and longer ago, updated with some spices and techniques that more recent immigrants brought over with them. ... American family cooking is a food heritage that needs and deserves to be preserved. It is one of the few features remaining in current American life and culture that so needs and deserves.
